In court, the defense asked for a January 2014 trial date, while the prosecution asked that it be scheduled in June of next year.

“It's just a matter of other cases have been scheduled and once those cases have been scheduled, it's not like we can reschedule. They're already scheduled so we need to work around that,” said Peter Hinckley, the Assistant Attorney General in New Hampshire.

According to court papers, Mazzaglia told police Marriott died during a consensual sexual encounter with himself and his girlfriend Kat McDonough, who has also been charged in connection with the death.

Marriott's body has never been found.

But Mazzaglia reportedly said that he and his girlfriend dumped the body off of Peirce Island in Portsmouth.

Last Saturday, some teeth were was found on the island. It's still not known if the teeth are human. The prosecution called any linking of the two events irresponsible.

“It's entirely speculative and I think does a disservice to her family, which is hurting very much for the loss of their daughter,” said Hinckley.

While not ruling on when the trial will start, the judge did mention in court that he thought the prosecution made some pretty good arguments.

The judge also scheduled another status conference for the end of next month.
